If the rom feels like the new boot screen looks like....this will be great again! :D

If you go to settings in Manilla then personalise, change all the wallpapers in home tab it changes all the backgrounds to your selected pictures!

On a personal note loving the new bubble message view in WM messaging on the newest 5.6 LEO 23518 build! I BSOD but just putting that down to setting up phone!!

Hey guys, one question...

What's the difference between choosing the 28206 build and the 23518 and the 21889??

And when you say use with caution, what exactly do you mean? That the system is unstable or that the whole phone can brake?

Best regards

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Khaled_Chebat:
RE: Differences between 21889, 23518 and 28206

Here you go:

Build 21889: Most stable of Windows Mobile 6.5 but not most finger-friendly, still with Start Menu on top

Build 23518: New release of Windows Mobile 6.5.x with more finger-friendly UI (Larger Tabs, menus, etc.) and Start Menu at bottom

Build 28206: Similar to 23518 in UI elements but not as stable

Usually, it goes as such:

Too Cautious? Stick to 21889 ;)

Want a usable environment but can live with some snags (Read more frequent resets)? Go for 23518 :)

Want to play with the latest and stay at the edge (With all its implications!)? You're on for 28206 :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chabbe11:
Yeah, but he never got a clear and understandable reply...

RE: Fix for Volume icon on Taskbar

Check this post by Agent_47.

P.S. For some weird reason the CAB kept giving me an error and not installing, so I checked the CAB contents and it seems to be a DLL to be copied to the Windows folder. Should you face the same issue, extract the DLL from the attached zip file and copy it to the Windows folder. Remember to Soft Reset after that :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kisocsi:
Thanks for the help of the DLL in the Windows folder by copying works perfect.:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djdexter247:
Never tried 21889 myself as I like the new UI, I was asuming that Manila would be the same in both versions and it would just be the WM element that would be different, I take it you have downloaded the latest (today) ROM? If not Agent will have to explain!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ibeQuint:
it is just the newest build.. so it hasn't been tested out as much as the others.

newer builds could mean they are much faster/more stable or slow and unstable... just going with the newest means less people have tested it so anything is possible.

also Build 21889 is the fastest of all the builds so far... but its the old wm UI.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jodeltje:
so, when you push on the message you just received (and want to react to) you get the windows sms program instead of the manila one?

Is downloading the 5.6.23518 now, gonna be pretty interesting to test it now to see what has been fixed or what new features are there.

Also, i'm wondering. For the Twitter tab right, is there a way that you can actually make it view full post? When a post gets too long, it just cuts it out and just shows the website, which makes it not as efficient and etc. ><

I've tried checked the settings, so i'm assuming there is no way around it, but just wondering if you guys have a way to get around it?

Thanks guys (:

And thanks for the new rom Agent_47 :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DatDereX1:
newer doesn't always mean less stable. everything was new at one time

but stability? that one u have to find out. we cant do all the work u know :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] DatDereX1:
re-read my post.

I'm wondering what's new with the new build not v5.6 and I don't expect agent to post all the info about each build

what's the best way to find out about new WM builds? I did search but maybe there isn't any info since this build is so new?

and I'm only asking about stability because someone said it is less stable but didn't say how. I'm using it now and it seems fine so far so hopefully that person was wrong but maybe I'll find out for myself later
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] tompok82:
agent, I have a small request.

Could you please cook a Valkyrie v5.6 23518 ROM without the 16 quick links?

The manila main home screen is very fast until I put the 4th quick links in the quick links.

Whenever I put the 4th quick links, the Manila main home screen lags like hell. But when I remove the 4th quick links, the Manila main home screen speed goes back to full speed. :(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] briian_:
Tompok82

i'm currently also using that version and is definitely not experiencing any speed problem. I've only put up 6 quicklinks but so far, i'm not experiencing any problem with the speed. still pretty fast and reasonable.

For this rom, i definitely feel some improvement though i'm not so sure anything about the battery or how stable it is yet. But so far, it seems really stable, haven't experienced any SOD, i've used it for 2 hours or so only but yeah.

Tested youtube, msn and some other mini apps, def no problem. In 5.5, i was experiencing some issue on the rom that was released on the 14th. Nothing to complain about this rom so far except the fact that its lovely (:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Khaled_Chebat:
RE: WM Builds

It is important for us all to remember that we are often working with builds of WM that are not yet released, or in software development jargon "Beta".

I explain:

Microsoft uses in its development a concept called "iterations" whereby different teams may be working in parallel on different builds to test/develop certain features or releases out-of-order.

Officially, only builds 21xxx have been released to the market with handsets available for purchase from vendors using these builds.

Builds 23xxx and 28xxx are still not released and not available in any handset in the market. These builds have been (most probably ;)) extracted from test units made available for testers or developers *prior* to release to general public in the market.

Microsoft is readying a new release of WM 6.5 that we've all come to call "6.5.3" and everyone expects a formal announcement in Mobile World Conference 2010 in February with general availability of handsets in market immediately/soon after (Garmin-Asus have already announced their newest handset, the Nuvifone M10, which is using it).

As Microsoft nears the release date for the 23xxx builds, it has to focus more on ironing out bugs, ensuring stability, etc. For this, they do a "feature-freeze" and all the builds progress in that direction.

Nonetheless, future development needs to proceed, and that's where the 28xxx line of builds comes into perspective. It is intended for further down-the-line future releases. Because of this, the development teams focus "less" on ensuring full stability.

Now, regarding performance: while testing software, developers add a lot of code to check things and gather information that helps them identify causes of problems in order to fix them. These additions are called "debug code" and add to the size of the code and overhead at execution time. Thus, typically, release code - which is free of this debug overhead, tends to be leaner and more performant than the debug versions. Hence the 21xxx (at least perceived) performance advantage.

So, based on the above, we can conclude:

Builds 21xxx are release versions and thus are the most stable with better performance for lack of debug overhead.

Buildx 23xxx are beta version intended for release soon, so are in the final stages of the development cycle and tend to have a rather acceptable stability as we draw closer to the release date.

Builds 28xxx are beta version *not* intended for release soon, so there is no particular effort/focus on stability by the dev team at this stage.

Hope this answers your inquiry :)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] briian_:
I've just got a SOD earlier on. I'm now trying to hard reset again without the sd card in to see if this fixes the problem as one of the previous version, that solution did somehow work.

Anyway, what happened was, as i was about to start browsing after opening a fair bit of other programs on as well, it first started lagging on the browser, then it jumped to the home screen, at the bottom where the start is along with phone and menu, that whole line just becomes white and it just freezes there.

Not a very good description of the situation but its something like that.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] briian_:
nope, cant fix the issue with 23518. The start button area constantly freezes and not working but then the other parts of the home screen and all the other tabs works fine. So you pretty much cant access to the start area when it screws up
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
great summary here khaled ...i remember those days when first release wm6.5 was introduced to Xda. Just want to add that Beta are still of several degrees; pure beta, public release (wm builds) and release to oem, this will add understanding how "beta" is that build ;)

Hey Agent_47

I've realised what i said before, the issue only happens when using Opera Browser.

Opera seems to be laggy when you try to type in anything really. Either your juts typing in the website or trying to manage bookmark, it just lags and the issue about the bottom start area starts to just acts all weird.

This rom looks great, especially being able to change the bg on tabs as well as the 16 quick link, its really eye candy (:

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] core2cnc:
nice! is this slide2unlock style or "only" for the start button?

there is one more problem @28206 for me, ActivSync will not work!

23518 does not have this bug

also wats slide2unlock n whats rong with start button?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chabbe11:
Well i can tell you this, it shuts down 3 times every hour, the start button doesn't work 90% of the times, the answer dialog (when someone calls you) is just sick because i can't even see who it is that's calling me... These are just some of the problems with this release. It's very unstable, slow and crashes a lot
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] drexxie:
What's wrong with the start buttion in (28206) area is: regular freezes. We can't do anything. See also post: #12737. No extra apps installed.

i got to that part and chose to think that i srsly cant take u srsly becoz:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] core2cnc:
I talking about 28206!

If I locked the phone, there is the WM6.1 lookin lockscreen=homescreen! no slide2 unlock as it comes with 6.5 ...

and when the screen is locked, I can push start button to menue...I can even start task manager by holding start button...while phone is locked!

right now i guess its shown to me only :confused:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] agent_47:
how does that prove anything?.....im just stating i or any1 will take u for a fubar if u just go out say things don work 90% of the time when it clearly does on mine!!

@Agent:

Since I installed the new ROM I haven't use manila yet.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] chichoko:
Ok I have successfuly installed both 23518 and 28206 and here goes my very first impressions..

23518.. I've installed the first one you released (not the modded one for speed n stuff..) All i have to say is.. LIGHTNING FAST! :eek: From the moment I enabled HTC Sense.. everything was running smooooth!! But.. there is always a "but" :rolleyes:

-- As soon as I started configuring Windows Live (the stock one.. i didnt download any newer versions..) the syncing of my "personal settings" fails every damn time :confused: I have no clue whats wrong.. and i have to say i got pissed so I went to find my luck on 28206..

28206.. A bit slower than 23518 but overall no other big difference, except that lil buggie on the locking screen.

-- The video playback on both versions is working fine, although I had some issues with a video i recorded a week back.. it was being played back like a slideshow on some occasions.. maybe its because the vid is 5 minutes long and just gives tough time to the software and hardware.. on the PC the video plays back fine though..

-- The only main issue I had with 28206 is when MyLocation kicks in.. as soon as i update the weather and it pops up the icon under the clock.. the overall scrolling speed between the tabs starts to slow down quite a bit.. I have to note that this happens only when it pops the picture of snow, thus making the screen freezing with ice on the edges and stuff.. i think its too memory consuming but hell.. i hope it doesnt snow that often where i live :D

-- Unfortunately I had the same issues with Windows Live here too :/ Any suggestions?

Overall the new roms are a lot faster than 5.5 and thats what I like :) Just keep up Agent mate and dont mind those who just want their rom perfect and in full shape who whine all the time without even testing or anything...

*note* Im downloading 23518-F5 now.. ill post my feedback as soon as possible :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] GuiPoM:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:

could you pls clarify/elaborate? thx
